That's really funny, I didn't realize the hyperbolic use had become official at some point.
Nothing is official. English, unlike other languages, does not have an official governing body. There is no official One True English Language.
Me either. Just part of the long trend of diluting intense words and chasing after new ones I guess (see: awesome, incredible, epic, etc). Kinda wonder where the language will go next.. doubleplusgood?
